The deal will will see accommodation provided for three of the
team's players at a significant discount.

For supporters of teams who travel to play the Lightning in Milton
Keynes, discounted rates will be available on their serviced
apartments, all within walking distance of the rink.

In return, the City Apartments branding will be displayed
prominently on a rink-side barrier board at the Planet Ice Arena in
front of the away team's bench, as well as on the players'
jerseys.

The company also intends to become the corporate sponsor of one
Lightning player, meaning the company's name will be announced
whenever that player takes to the ice or is involved in a goal or
penalty.

Lightning's commercial manager Sarah Jane Smyth said: "We're
delighted to have reached this agreement with City Apartments. Life
in the Elite League means that with all of our players coming from
some distance away, being able to manage the costs of accommodation
is hugely significant. This arrangement means living arrangements
for three of our team will be taken care of, and we know they'll be
in fantastic apartments, close to the rink for training and
matches. We hope this will be the start of a long and mutually
beneficial partnership!"

Andy Keech, managing director of City Apartments, said: "We are
dedicated to building relationships with the local community and
businesses, which is why we are excited to sponsor Milton Keynes's
cherished ice hockey team, the MK Lightning. All of us at City
Apartments are thrilled to support Milton Keynes' only elite sports
team. Milton Keynes is a great city and MK Lightning are
representing it on a national level. We look forward to seeing them
achieve great success and take pride in knowing we can support the
team to achieve it."
